About
Alesia Crossland
Desert Magnolia Therapy was inspired by the beautiful Sandia Mountains located in the high desert of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Magnolias represent perseverance, which is an important component of healing. I believe that “to heal” means there is an ongoing process throughout the lifespan rather than having a final, set point in time, and it takes perseverance to be able to maintain a non-linear journey of continual trauma-recovery and self-improvement.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of New Mexico. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from The University of New Mexico and my Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work Practice from New Mexico Highlands University.
